Buyer’s Options

Your business/organization can support the members by purchasing a market steer at the sale. If you are unsure of what you can do with your steer, here are a few options:

1. The 4-H clubs are ready to provide the transportation of the steers to the destination of your choice, at no extra cost. Destination must be designated on the night of the sale.

2. For your convenience, the Rocky 4-H Beef Show and Sale Committee has multiple spots booked at local abattoirs for slaughter and processing and will provide delivery of your steer to the processor.

3. There will also be a buy back program available for your purchased steer. The steer will be sent to the next local live auction sale. Please check auction reports for potential pricing. The buyback value will be the difference between the live auction sale price and the 4-H sale price. (ie) If the 4-H sale price is $3/lb on a 1200lb steer , the cost is $3600. If the sale price at a local live auction is $2.00/lbs then the buyback purchaser will receive $2400 with the auction sale, brand inspection and fees deducted from the live auction sale price.

4. You could donate it to the local food bank.

CLEAVER KIDS

Cleaver Kids is an early introduction to 4-H Alberta through fun, hands on learning that is age appropriate for youth aged 6 to 8 years. Cleaver Kids enjoy learning about 4-H by first learning about the basic requirements and then focusing on the four areas of skills development. 4-H Clubs can be creative and design stand-alone activities that foster skills development in a progressive manner. Standalone learning activities, that are age appropriate and different than 4-H Members’ project activities, serve to prepare Cleaver Kids to transition into Junior 4-H Members and progress through the 4-H program. Keeping learning fresh at each stage helps to ensure that they remain engaged and interested. Engagement of Cleaver Kids at is about FUN, FUN, FUN and the fun requires family involvement.

My name is Katie, and I am in my 2nd year of being a Cleaver in 4-H. I really enjoyed working with my calf last year, being with friends, putting together our wood tack boxes and our posters. I can't wait for my calf to be born for this year's project! I also enjoy figure skating, playing with my dog and my heifer, Janni.

Hello, my name is Barrett Forster, and I am 7 years old. This is my second year as a Cleaver with the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club. My calf this year is from one of our new full blood Simmental heifers. Syd is going to look pretty fancy in the sale this year he is a really nice big red boy. I really like 4-H, but I also like hockey, basketball and riding my horse, Benny. I am really excited for the sale this year.

Hi, my name is Jack Lobley. I am 8 years old and this will be my third and final year as a Cleaver Kid in the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club. I really enjoy being outside on my skidoo and going fishing with my family. I am also learning to play the guitar. Unfortunately, my project hasn’t been born yet but I am really looking forward to our calving season starting this year so I can pick a really great project to show as a Cleaver and to use next year as my first market steer. Thank you so much for supporting our show and sale.

Hey I am Kynzly and this is my first year as a Cleaver kid in 4-H, I am 7 years old. My favourite thing to do is gymnastics and I am currently working on getting my next skill, a back handspring! My calf is Lester, he lost his mom a week after he was born and now I get to raise him. His Birthday is March 20th. I bottle feed him a couple times a day and am teaching him to trust me. He’s still kind of scared of me and I think he’s still missing his mom. I really like being able to spend time with him and can’t wait to show him off. He’s pretty little yet. At Mini Show he weighed 86 lbs!

My name is Layne, and I am 9 years old and am in my last year as a cleaver kid. I like 4-H because I learn so much about farming. I hope to have my own herd one day and I even practice farming with my “carpet farm” at home. I like helping my dad as much as I can around the farm.

Hi I am McKenzie Mehlhaff and I am 7 years old and my favourite thing about 4-H is working with animals. My first show was last year and I am looking forward to showing a calf again this year. I am also learning all about pigs and started raising Kune kunes. I love being a farmer. I love helping my dad around the farm.

Hi, my name is Caydie Pals, and I am 6 years old. This is my first year as a 4-H Cleaver kids and I am in the Rocky North 4-H Multi Club. I am so excited to get my very own baby calf this year.

Hi everyone, my name is Chelsie Pals, and I am 6 years old. This is my first year in 4-H and I am a Cleaver kid in the Rocky North club. I am so excited to be a real 4-H member because I have been coming to 4-H when I was just born. I am excited to have my very first calf and learn how to take care of it. I like to ride my horse and play hockey and watch YouTube, but I don’t like it when my brothers tease me.

Hey, I’m Timory Nicolay and I’d like to introduce you to my stunning Simmental/Angus steer named Kero. I can’t decide if he’s good or bad, but we have gone on some adventures together. For example, the first day he kicked me. Thankfully though, he didn’t hurt me. He also likes to play games with me, like ‘Yeah, Right, Try and Halter Me’ and ‘Cop and Runner’ (in which I'm always the cop.) Besides his attitude, he’s a good steer who enjoys his daily feed of 4-H ration, barley and pellets. From the beginning he was a big calf weighing in at the October Weigh-In at 714 lbs. He’s a good-looking calf featuring a nice shiny black coat. I hope this was enough to convince you to come and meet him at our show and sale on May 25, 2023, and maybe place a bid. If not on him then maybe on one of the other great steers our clubs have on offer!

Hi, my name is Ben deBruyn and I am 12 years old. This is my first year of 4-H. My steer is a Simmental, and his name is Frankie. He was 836 pounds at weigh day and my goal is 1400 pounds. My hobbies include fishing, hockey, 4-H, biking, and camping. My steer is a big one and will be very tasty.

Hi, my name is Luke Gerdung, I am a Junior member of the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club. This is my Steer named Hagrid He is a Charolais Cross purchased from Willsie Farm. He weighed 740 lbs at weigh in and is gaining weight nicely!! I hope he will weigh at least 1300 lbs at the Show and Sale. I feed him 4-H Grower/Finisher and Some Hay. I really love being in 4-H because I am learning all about raising my steer, meeting new friends and playing games.

Thank you, Evergreen CO-OP, for buying my steer last year.

Hello Friends!

My name is Tayte Godlonton and this year my steer is Toby. Toby is a Black Angus, who was born on April 15, 2022. At the October weigh in, Toby was 710lbs. He is a pretty great steer and I’ve enjoyed working with him this year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank McCaws Drilling for purchasing my Steer last year and a big thank you to all you folks and businesses who support 4-H!

Hi there my name is Kallie Gerdung and this is my steer Phoenix. I have been in the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club for nine years. I have purchased my Charolais Cross steer “Phoenix” from Gerald and Joyce Willsie. Phoenix is an amazing steer even though he runs away sometimes when I am petting him down. Phoenix is one of those steers, that If you scratch him and then just stand straight he will smell you and then give you a big slobbery kiss on the face. At Show and Sale I would like my steer to weigh 1400. I would like to give a big shout out to my buyer Jayme Hunter who purchased my Steer last year.

Good day potential buyers My name is Allie Pals. I’ve been in 4-H for 12 years and sadly this is my last year. Over the past 12 years I’ve done many different projects that have helped me learn valuable life skills. I grew up in the agricultural industry for most of my life and hope to stay involved with it for the rest of my life. This year my steer’s name is KB, he is a Simmental, born and raised on my parents ranch just outside of Caroline AB, where we run a commercial herd of around 150 head. KB weigh in at 720lbs at weigh in back in October, as of February he weighed 1100lbs. He’s very friendly and is the first one to the feed bunk to greet you. I’ve only had the halter on him a few times and so far he’s doing good with it. I hope to see you at our 2023 Show and Sale May 25th, 2023 at the Kurt Browning Arena in Caroline AB.

Hey, I’m Derrick Stewart and this is my steer Red. He is a red Simmental cross and has been home raised. I have been a member of the Rocky South 4-H Beef Club for 8 years. Other than 4-H I enjoy playing guitar, writing, and driving. A big thank you to any past and present sponsors, and I would like to invite any and all interested buyers to the sale. It is on Thursday May 25th at the Caroline arena. Thanks again and hope to see you there!

Hello, my name is Kamryn McNutt I am 15 years old and this is my second year in the Rocky South 4-H beef club and my first year as a senior member. This is my steer Clifford #2 and we are excited to see you all at the show and sale May 26th at the Caroline area.

Hi everyone, I’m Graeson Mason, this is my 2nd year as a Junior 4-H member. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how this steer has managed to outsmart a halter. EVERY time I put a halter on him, doesn’t matter if he’s tied up or just hanging out, he gets out of it like he’s The Great Houdini!! Poof is his name. For a good reason. He loves to run me around the pen almost like a good game of cat and mouse. All jokes aside he sure is growing nice, he weighed in at 740 lbs and I’m sure I can get him to 1300 lbs. I’ve put a lot of work into trying to halter break him and hope that shows come sale day. Thank you so much to Clearwater Oilfield Services for purchasing my steer last year. Also thank you to all for continuing to support 4-H. Can’t wait to see you all May 25th so you can watch Poof show off his nice bod.

HI my name is Abby Hall. My steers name is Copper and he’s a Simmental-Herford. At weigh in he was 752 pounds and since then he has had a great weight gain. He is full red and is very friendly and loves a good brush. I got him from my uncle Lorne Hall along with a small rather funny looking steer named Gerald named courtesy of my sister. Gerald is Copper's little buddy and keeps him company.

Hi, my name is Wesley Pals and I have been with the Rocky North 4-H Multi Club for 6 years now. I love growing up on a ranch with all the ups and downs. I get to see what my steer was like from birth to death. My steer this year is a Simmental x, home grown steer. He is growing great and will finish very nice. A few things about me, I am 14 years old, love to ride horses and to help around the farm most of the time. I hope to one day become a heavy-duty mechanic. That is a little about me and my steer this year and thank you for supporting our 2023 4-H Show and Sale.

My name is Bailey McNutt, and this is my second year in 4-H. My steer’s name is Steve and he is a Simmental Cross. I have learned a lot this year and in my spare time I like to play hockey and help out at the farm.

Hello, my name is Haleigh Mason, this is my 4th year in 4-H and also my first year as an intermediate. My steer this year is a beautiful well-balanced animal with what I think is a really neat colour, he’s not a typical red but red to say the least. College Fund has put my patience to the test. Between sports, 4-H, and regular day to day life let’s just say I’ve been BUSY. The best kind of busy that is. College Fund loves attention and I think he has the cutest baby face with his big doe eyes. My steer weighed 854 lbs at weigh in and I am hoping to get him to that 1400 lbs mark by sale day. Either way I know College Fund will make a great addition to your freezer come May. Thank you so much to Clearwater Vet for the purchase of my steer last year. I also want to say thank you to the Roger’s family for continuing to supply me with feed for my 4-H animals. See you all at Show and Sale and thank you all so much for coming and supporting our clubs. It really does mean so much to us all!

Always the first up for feed I expect this guy to really shine in the sale with how well he has developed. I am lucky to be in a club that has taught me so much about handling and feeding my steer to a finished weight.

The Female Show

Hi, my name is Wesley Pals and this is my 6th year in the Rocky North 4-H Multi Club. This year my heifer is a purebred Charolais. Her name is Miss Allie. She was born on January 19, 2022 and I bought her at the Alberta Charolais Select sale from Daines Cattle/O’Neil Livestock. Her sire is a Crossfire bull, so we hope get power in her offsprings. I also am doing beef, woodworking and horse projects this year in 4-H. I hope to see you at our 2023 4-H Female Show.

Hi my name Levi Pals, I’m 12 years old and this year I have a purebred Charolais yearling heifer, her name is Miss Andrea. This is my 7th year in 4H and my 6th year at the Rocky North Multi Club. This year I will be doing beef, horse and woodworking for all my projects. Outside of 4-H I like to play hockey and basketball. I live on a commercial cow-calf ranch in Chedderville AB and my brother and I are using our purebred herd to have home-grown Charolais bulls for our family’s cowcalf operation. This will be my first year showing a heifer, but I have shown steers before.

Hello, my name is Charli-Brynn Katona. This is my 6th year in 4-H. I am 11 years old and in grade 6. My heifer’s name this year is Karen. I am super excited to show her, she is my second female project. She is a little red Simmental heifer! I picked her because she is built nicely, and overall has a great frame. She also has a very good temper. I hope to see you at show and sale!

Hi, my name is Darcie Rutt. This is my 6th year in 4-H, and Mabel is my last heifer project I’ll be doing! I chose her out of the Stewart’s herd in the fall because she has a great build and I think she will be a gorgeous cow! I work as a full-time ranch hand, and spend my time working with cattle and horses.

Hi, my name is Grady Skoven this is my third year in 4-H. My heifer Amy was originally a bottle baby but was grafted on a cow who had lost her calf. Amy is a Fleckvieh angus cross. I’ve been feeding her 4H ration and oats and she's gained well on it. I’m excited to see how she does in the ring.

Hi, my name is Irelynn Godlonton and this is my heifer Bonnie. She is a Black Angus with a white face. She is an April born calf and has a good personality. This is my fourth year in 4-H and my first year with a heifer project.

Hello again! Ben Duffin here but this time with my heifer project Faith. She is the 5th heifer project I’ve had and she has some sass to her. She weighed 656 pounds at weigh in and has been growing great since then. She is an Angus/Simental cross and is very tame. Hoping to see many calves from her in the future! See you at the show!!

Hi, Haleigh Mason here. This is my first year as an Intermediate and 4th year in 4-H. Juliette is my 2 year old cow. She is an Angus X Gelbvieh and was bred to a purebred Gelbvieh Bull. She calved a big black bull calf January 5th. She has been an amazing mother with and even better temperament. Hunter is growing like a bad weed and is full of spunk. I can’t wait to show her and her baby in the ring to you all. In addition to my 2 year old I also have here my Heifer Kryptonite, she is coming a long alright. She will also be bred to a purebred Gelbvieh bull. I am really hoping to be able to have her ready for show.

Good day everyone, it’s me Allie again. I’m going to tell you a little bit about my 2 year old cow/calf pair and my yearling heifer. Jaylo aka JJ or just Jay is my 2 year old and she is a SimAngus cross born and raised on my parents ranch just outside of Caroline AB.

Hello, I am Kalvin Danielson and this is my heifer Barbara, she is a Simmental/angus cross and is a beautiful addition to my herd, she has a long body, good overall depth and great Simmental colour, she was my pick of the heifer calves since the day she was born. My 2 year old cow Brittney, she has quite the difference of colour for my herd being a Simmental shorthorn cross, but none the less she fits right into my herd with her excellent build, good genetics, and looking forward to her future in my herd. My 3 year old cow Brandy, she is one of my favourites in my herd and we have done great in previous years showing. She is a Simmental/angus cross and is a great representation of my herd I am building over the years.

Hi my name is Rayne Danielson and this is my three year old cow Ruby, she calved this year on February 22 and threw a painted up heifer calf that is out of a full blood Simmental. I’m excited to see the work this cow puts into her calf’s and watch her grow. My two year old cow, Huckleberry. She was bred to a full blood Simmental bull and she blew me away with a blue roan heifer calf that looks just like her and I can’t wait to see how the colour sticks as she grows. This year I named my heifer June, she is a Simmental, Angus cross and I choose her for the matching frame to complete my whole herd this year. I can’t wait to see what she brings as she grows and matures.

Hi there! I am Ireland Somers, and this is my heifer Teal. She is a purebred, Simmental heifer, and let me tell you she is pretty darn nice to look at. I am very excited to show her at the show and to keep her for more years to come in to see what she brings to this world. I’ve been showing these animals for around 10 years, and it just never gets old. Teal is one great gal! Although she does like to take control of the barn and she likes to eat a lot of green. She is one pretty heifer. Teal and I are really looking forward to seeing you all at the heifer show! And I’m sure you recognize this pretty lady, Lavender. Lavender as you know is my two-year-old project this year. Lavender is probably my favourite animal. She is a purebred Simmental, and she is papered!! I have shown her last year and she does have some attitude to her. She is one great gal. Plus, I also won. Overall Grand Champion Yearling Heifer with her last year. I am so excited to show her and her amazing calf at the show this year and to see what awards they might bring. Hopefully this time she doesn’t have a big attitude, but I guess with a heifer you’ll never know. Lavender and I would like to invite you to join us at the female show this year on May 28 and we are looking forward to seeing you there! And I’m sure you may also recognize this beautiful hunk of a cow Candy Kane. Candy Kane is a purebred Simmental cow, and she is a pretty darn nice one. Although she is my three year old cow/calf project, It is kind of sad that I’ve spent most of my time with her and this is her last year in my whole herd for 4-H but I am hoping that she is going to go out with a bang! I’m really excited for the calf she’s gonna bring. She adds a little sparkle to my herd, and I really enjoyed that. She is a great mother every year. She is one of my favourite animals to show. Whenever I go outside, she is probably one of the easiest cows to pick out of the herd and talk to and give her a little pet here and there. I am so excited to show her at our show on May 28. Candy Kane and I hope to see you there!

Hi my name is Jayden Warren and this is my whole herd project. Here is my home raised fullblood Simmental heifer JBar Karma 21K, I showed her momma all through 4-H and I am super excited to see what I will be able to accomplish with her! She has lots riding on her and I feel she will fulfill the footsteps her dam has left on my herd and show career! This is my 2 year old pair and let me tell you Chipa is performing well in my herd with her January heifer at side that has been exceeding expectations since birth! I am very excited to see how big and fancy this little heifer will become show day! I know this is a female that will help improve my herd with the way her first calf is already looking! We would love if you came to take a look at the tremendous job Chipa is doing. This is a big broody female that will be my 3 year old pair this year Hellen raised an amazing bull calf last year as a first calf heifer and I am stoked to see what will come of her bull calf at side with her large frame and tremendous udder with lots of milk! Hellen is a cow that can raise calves with lots of power to add to your herd! This is her last year she will be showed and I'm excited to see what she will accomplish.
